The Alpha Chose Me
Chapter 288

I sighed. We were friends, no, we were family. Jack was Jake's best friend and Beta. Why were people so against a helping hand?

“I don't want your money Lacey but if it makes you feel better you can pay me ten dollars a month. I didn't need the money and I certainly didn't want it. “If you don't take it then I'l be forced to sell it and I really don't want to do that".

“Thank you but Jack-.."

“Ill talk to Jack”. Jake interrupted. “I'll make him see sense. I'm going on a patrol. Will you be, okay?".

“Yeah”.

“I'll stay with her". Lacey added.

“I won't be long".

“Okay, spill”. “Are you guys fighting?".

“No. Are you and Jack, okay?”

“We talked for hours last night and now we both understand what each other wants. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on FindNovel.net.

I think if we move into our own home, we'll get the space we need”.

“It's nice to see you with a spring back in your step”. I smiled.

“Now spill”. She stole a piece of bacon from my plate. “Because something is definitely going on”.

“He thinks I'm pregnant”. I took a sip of my juice. “Apparently my scent has changed”.

She grinned. “It's sweeter”.

My stomach dropped. I couldn't be pregnant, could I?

I didn't want to be. I wasn't ready.

“But that doesn’t mean that you are. I'm guessing you haven't taken a test".

I shook my head. I was scared to take one in case the result was positive. I wasn't ready for kids. I had my whole life for that but right now I wanted to put all my focus on our relationship.

“Il can't be Lacey. I don't want to be”.

“There's only one way to find out’.

“I have my period”. I added.

“Could be spotting”.

A sigh fell from my lips. “I'm going to have to take the test, aren't I2".

“Afraid 50".

Dammit.

I guess I can't be surprised. These things happen when having unprotected sex.

I was putting leftovers in Tupperware tubs when he arrived back.

“Everything good?" I asked

“Yeah, baby".

“Did you talk to Jack?".

“I did. They're moving in but he still wants to pay rent’.

“Yeah, ten dollars a month". I put the tubs in the fridge and grabbed a clean mug from the cupboard. “I'm making tea. Do you want some?”.

“You don't drink tea”.

“Yeah, well you've put me in the mood for it"

“Leah”. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I'll take the test Jake but not right now okay’.

“That's all I ask”.

I made tea as he went to wash up. I was sitting in the living room staring at the test in my hand. My head was about to blow, I was overthinking everything. In my mind I was already pregnant.

Different scenarios filling my head. Thinking the worst like always. I couldn't look after a child. I could barely look after myself. Wait, did Jake want me to be pregnant?

Did he want a baby right now?

“It wouldn't be a bad thing if you were". His voice reached my ears causing me to drop the test. “You'll be a great mom Leah”. He sat down beside me.

“Ym not ready”. I hadn't lived, I've achieved nothing. I couldn't have a baby and that was that. “I can't be a mom”.

“And if you are pregnant then what?".

I didn't want to fight with him over this. I wanted to be a mom but not right now and if the test came back positive then I guess we were having a baby.

“You want this don’t you". I spoke.

“I want whatever you want. I just want you to be happy”.

“A baby Jake, we're not ready for a baby”. I ran a hand through my hair. We weren't ready for the responsibility of having to look after a child. We were barely mated.

“Take the test and then we'll take it from there”.

I did. I took the test and just as I suspected it was negative.

I wasn't pregnant.
